Module Feedback and Suggestions / Re: Favored Souls Domain Acess

« Last post by MAB77 on April 18, 2024, 08:18:30 PM »

If MAB said the domain can be acquired as long as it's part of a class, would adding any of the Mist domain-granting PrCs be a valid thing to do?

The PrCs are the way divine casters other than cleric would manifest the shield. Ezra PrCs would be a lot less exclusive than the current Hala PrC, so it's not like it would see little use.

If a cleric already has Mist Domain when taking the PrC, then they get 1x expeditious retreat instead, but that could be selected as an alternative domain/power just for the PrC perhaps.

Yes, but if the goal is to gain the Mists domain, the favored soul is still better served by multiclassing into the cleric class. They'd gain the domains, would actually learn new spells, and get access to the Turn Undead feats. PrCs increasing one's existing class casting levels do not work well with spontaneous casters. They grant spell slots but do not allow to learn new spells.

Clerics do not need to multiclass to gain the domain, and any divine casting PrC granting other powers would be a net power creep that we are keen to avoid at this time.

Back in the day...I waited a whole year without anyone finding my body, they didn't have the wait several weeks. I will gladly take the several weeks from the never being able to respawn. Honestly this IS the best compromise. Make good friends, leave a way for friends to know where you went. If you go missing, they know where to start. I am not even gonna ask for a change as this was the change I begged for.

My character with a max of about 43hp had 1hp left. He got crit for about 56 damage...
This resulted in instant death (of course). It also prevents me from walking into the light and resurrecting for several weeks.
It also says that even if I could lead someone to my corpse to get a Resurrection, it would cost several thousand fangs because the body is mangled.

While I understand the logic behind making massive damage deaths a bad thing that you should avoid, I also think that forcing a player to stop playing for several weeks after a monster gets a lucky crit is a bit extreme. The fang cost makes sense to me. Having a delay before you can resurrect seems fair... But, weeks? That's a long time to spend playing some other game before I'm allowed to return here after a random monster got a lucky crit.

I don't disagree with the system, but I suggest shortening the wait period by a lot.

Maybe make it In Game weeks instead of Real Life weeks?

If someone raises you, you won't have to wait weeks.

This delayed timer mechanic is used more alongside PvP situations, where people would otherwise be back within 5 minutes to cause further trouble or escape custody through death teleportation (regardless of level penalty) if their body isn't mangled up.

If you go out alone into ridiculously dangerous places, there's nothing stopping a death parade of low level scouting and respawning except this mechanic, too.

But if you travel with others, and get bodied in this fashion, you're back instantly when people can pay for your raise.

Module Feedback and Suggestions / Re: Pick Target update, and request for reversion

« Last post by blackpage on April 18, 2024, 06:50:38 PM »

However, specifically and uniquely for the spawn placeable/rental commands, targeting yourself will pick the last stored target if there's one.

are you certain? i attempted it and all it did was spawn the placeable on me

Sorry, I meant it will work like that next update.

That'll be better, but the actual inconvenient part remains having to click a target after every command still. I know it might seem minor, but it certainly adds up over time if you are looking through the massive list of placeables, or heavens forbid messing with the Z axis.

I'll have a look next update when thats implemented and see how it works!

Bug Reports / Re: Possible bug with the Lunatic Feat

« Last post by Day Old Bread on April 18, 2024, 05:55:06 PM »

Just out of curiosity, it the intended functionality exactly as the feat is written? Or is it meant to always have some effect excepting the half moon?

It should function as written. The bug occurred with the Waning Crescent Moon only.

Awesome. Thank you. Yeah I wasn't 100% sure when it was occuring. Hard to test when you've got to wait IRL day or two to catch the right moon phases.

Could use a vendor who sells simple bags or boxes in Nordenval. Looked all around and couln't find anything that wasn't an ivory jewelry box to put my crap in.

Somewhat belated but we added such a vendor in the bazaar.

I noticed that! Thank you! Nice QoL improvement for Hazlan characters

What: Amanuensis Spell

Issue: When clicking on a newly purchased piece of paper and following the instruction in the log, the log states the paper has already been written on.

Reproducing: Have a piece of paper with writing on it, and a fresh blank piece of paper. Cast Amanuensis on the original, then click the blank piece of paper.

You should never have to respawn, ever. The hard part is finding your body to be reunited with it if for any reason your ghost is not teleported to it when you get raised/resurrected. This happens if you are offline when the spell is cast on the body (unless they fixed it, in which case I'll cross this out).

I played a cleric and I can tell you that resurrecting even high level players is pretty cheap because of the discount you can get buying diamonds with Appraise. I used to encourage people to buy things from me with diamonds because they'd save money and I valued this undroppable form of currency that gets people alive again, in a game where deaths are frequent. Some clerics will not even ask for payment when resurrecting you.

It's not convenient in the slightest, people can't always be online, but this is a reason to make friends with people who can cast necessary spells and provide them with diamonds that you find in loot, where they are severely undervalued, or get them in touch with a high Appraise character.

At the end of the day, nobody can stop you from asking for OOC help, and silly deaths happen all the time. This advice runs parallel to that.
